Chapter 270 Mermaid Ying Tian
This question stumped the old soldier, so he started rambling on and on, saying things like, "How could we possibly understand the supernatural powers of a great cultivator?" and "The mysteries of heaven and earth cannot be casually pried into."...
Zhong Ming picked at his ear, ignoring the old soldier, and stood on tiptoe to peer inside the Thunderclap Bomb.
Inside, an irregularly shaped object, bound by countless chains, lay quietly. The chains were all spirit artifacts engraved with spirit patterns, and their luster indicated they were high-end. Putting aside everything else, the sheer power of these spirit artifacts exploding was already considerable.
The chains were also covered with high-level talismans, and the two worked together to surround the contents layer by layer, making it impossible to see anything inside from the outside.
"How do you use this thing?"
"I don't know. At least a Foundation Establishment cultivator would need to know how to use it." The old soldier shook his head.
"Alas, when it comes to cultivation level, one can only do one's best and leave the rest to fate. Human strength has its limits, and I'm afraid I won't reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime."
The veteran spoke of it so casually, as if it weren't a bad thing at all. On the contrary, he had let go of the burden of pursuing a higher realm, and life suddenly became wonderful.
"Hey kid, you're new here, aren't you? I'll soon have enough military merits to 'buy my freedom,' and then I can find a safe place to be a gatekeeper."
Zhong Ming subconsciously took a step back; these words didn't sound like a compliment.
Wherever there are cultivators, there is no safety...
Time passed second by second. They completed one enhanced version of the bomb after another, and then tried to connect several bombs together. They went from being busy and enthusiastic to racking their brains, and finally fell silent, without any more ideas.
The second-floor area also began to rotate shifts, and Zhong Ming finally got the chance to go up to the second floor to get some fresh air and "visit" Xuan Jing.
The smell of death wafted in from outside; it was awful, like the smell of rotting corpses throughout the city.
"The water level has risen again."
Zhong Ming looked down, and for some reason, his heart started beating faster and faster.
He was somewhat unsure, and after examining the liquid between the countless broken planks and floating debris, his eyes and mind became increasingly uncomfortable.
So he took out the tattered cloth from the Spirit Nursing Home and the red tassel from the spear, placed them near his head, and looked down. Sure enough, he felt much better.
"There's something wrong with this water, guys. Haven't you noticed that staring at this water makes you dizzy and lightheaded?"
"Hmm, really? It seems so."
Someone immediately tried it, their eyes wide open like saucers, but they couldn't hold on any longer and immediately shouted to the supreme commander, "That's right, the water's power to affect the mind is getting stronger and stronger."
Just as everyone was waiting for the most powerful person here to give some explanation or orders, the situation in the distance suddenly changed.
Several towering spires in the inner city suddenly collapsed, and then all the black water, including the black water in both the inner and outer cities, boiled. Countless water columns rose from the water, and with each breath, they actually became jet-black water dragons.
Several water dragons approached and merged, eventually coalescing into nine enormous black dragons that coiled towards the tallest tower in the inner city.
The tower was protected by a powerful array. The water dragon did not directly reach the upper floor, but was blocked by a spherical shield with nine dragons coiled around it. The cultivators inside were like ornamental fish kept in a fish tank, helpless against the external threat.
At this moment, the Golden Core cultivators who were sitting firmly on the high platform finally awoke as if from a dream.
"Damn it, after decades away from the battlefield, we've completely forgotten about the territory of Nascent Soul stage enemies."
"It's not your fault. We didn't expect this strange thing to be part of the domain's expansion. At this point, it's impossible to defend against it. Even if we knew, we could only respond to the situation as it unfolds."
The black water was no longer concealed, and its true power began to be revealed. All the merfolk in the black water were greatly enhanced, and their speed, strength, and spiritual energy recovery were several times higher than before.
Human cultivators, on the other hand, become completely weak and powerless after coming into contact with the black water. Not only are they unable to recover their spiritual power, but a force is also subtly draining their spiritual power.
If it's a normal person, it's not so bad, but for a wounded warrior, once the black water comes into contact with the wound, the spiritual power in his body will be completely depleted.
As one side gains at the expense of the other, human cultivators are being rapidly eliminated, making the maintenance of the great formation increasingly difficult.
At this moment, the supreme commander, an old man only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul realm, could only stand at the highest point and speak in a desolate voice:
"Who are you, fellow Daoist? Are you a cultivator from Pingzhou? Why are you helping these merfolk commit evil?"
"Hahaha~~" A hearty laugh came from all the black water dragon mouths, as if the whole world was mocking his ignorance.
A gigantic merman emerged from the remaining skeleton of the Giant Bone Dark Abyss Fish and walked step by step toward the deepest part of the inner city.
With each step he took, his body grew larger.
Zhong Ming cowered in horror at the small firing port of the corner tower. At that moment, he finally understood why the new recruits were called "the little guys".
This is the Dharma Realm.
With each step the merman took, its body grew larger, but upon closer inspection, the merman's physical form below remained unchanged; it was merely a condensed avatar.
Since the Blackwater Domain was established, he has plundered an immeasurable amount of spiritual power. Standing within his domain, he is like an old tree with its roots firmly planted, with no risk of running out of spiritual power.
The Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth and the Dharma Form of Earth are not much different in appearance and combat power, and there is no difference in their superiority or inferiority.
The Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth is the embodiment of one's own understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, ultimately forming one's own Dharma Form. The Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth is the manifestation of one's own power, which can be simply seen as the enlargement of one's own body.
One follows the way of Heaven, while the other seizes all the creation of Heaven and Earth to strengthen itself. There is no difference in strength between the two; they simply follow different cultivation paths.
However, the one on the battlefield now is a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Merfolk race, known for his physical prowess.
He could have easily cultivated the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, yet he still managed to unleash the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, which means that his Taoist skills and hand-to-hand combat abilities had reached a terrifying level.
After a few dozen steps, his body was already as tall as the tallest tower in the inner city, and he was at eye level with the highest commander guarding the city.
"I am a Merfolk, Yingtian." The Merfolk chieftain spoke, his words transmitted through divine thought throughout the entire area, without the limitations of language, directly conveying his meaning to everyone's minds.
"I never expected that the Merfolk would produce such an outstanding person. But... Pingzhou must have helped you a lot to get here, right? A Nascent Soul Realm alien race actually traversed the entire Pingzhou. It seems that the old guys in the east haven't been beaten in a while, and their bones have loosened again."
